guardar las facturas

En años anteriores he comentado con mis estudiantes la importancia de guardar las facturas cuando se prevé un litigio, en concreto ante el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos. Esta hoy leyendo la decisión del tribunal Estrasburgo en el caso Hamidovic v. Bosnia and Herzegovina (App. no. 57792/15, 5 December 2017) y me encuentro este párrafo:

According to the Court’s case-law, an applicant is entitled to the reimbursement of costs and expenses only in so far as it has been shown that these have been actually and necessarily incurred and are reasonable as to quantum. That is to say, the applicant must have paid them, or be bound to pay them, pursuant to a legal or contractual obligation, and they must have been unavoidable in order to prevent the breaches found or to obtain redress. The Court requires itemised bills and invoices that are sufficiently detailed to enable it to determine to what extent the above requirements have been met. Since no such documents have been submitted in the present case, the Court rejects this claim (n. 54)

Ocurre y seguirá ocurriendo.
